The T-piece Resuscitation System provides the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant. These are clinical practices that represent the established standard of care. Resuscitation may be required whenever an infant fails to establish effective, adequate breathing patterns necessary to meet tissue oxygen demands and/or to rid the body of carbon dioxide. For professional use only, by trained clinicians.
Device Story
System provides pulmonary resuscitation for infants; includes suction device for airway/nasal clearance, dual medical gas flowmeters for oxygen/air delivery, and airway pressure manometer. Clinician adjusts Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) via front panel knob; Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) set via adjustable valve on T-piece patient circuit. Optional air/oxygen blender allows FiO2 adjustment (21-100%). Used in clinical settings by trained clinicians; provides visual pressure feedback throughout respiratory cycle. Facilitates lung pressurization and gas exchange; supports standard neonatal resuscitation protocols.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only; device conforms to recognized performance standards for powered emergency ventilators.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical resuscitation system; includes suction, gas flowmeters, airway pressure manometer, and optional air/oxygen blender. Uses T-piece patient circuit. Manual adjustment of PIP and PEEP. No software or electronic sensing/actuation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants requiring pulmonary resuscitation to establish a clear airway, provide oxygen/air-oxygen mixtures, or manual ventilation due to ineffective breathing patterns or failure to meet tissue oxygen/CO2 exchange demands. For professional use by trained clinicians only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered emergency ventilator is a demand valve or inhalator intended to provide emergency respiratory support by means of a face mask or a tube inserted into a patient's airway.

#### Intended Use Statement
The T-piece Resuscitation System provides the basic equipment required for pulmonary resuscitation of infants. Pulmonary resuscitation includes practices necessary to establish a clear airway and provide oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures and/or manual ventilation to the infant. These are clinical practices that represent the established standard of care.*
{1}------------------------------------------------
Resuscitation may be required whenever an infant fails to establish effective, adequate breathing patterns necessary to meet tissue oxygen demands and/or to rid the body of carbon dioxide.
For professional use only, by trained clinicians.
* As stated in collaborative guidelines written by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 5th Edition.
#### Functional Description and Technological Characteristics
The T-piece Resuscitation System incorporates the following features for the practice of infant resuscitation: a suction device for clearance of the trachea and nasal passages; two medical gas flowmeters to deliver oxygen or air/oxygen mixtures to the infant requiring such therapy; and an airway pressure manometer. An optional air/oxygen blender including high-pressure yokes may be included with the system which allows the clinician to adjust FiO2 % from 21-100%.
The airway pressure manometer allows a trained clinician to see pressure throughout the respiratory cycle.
Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) is adjusted using the PIP knob located on the front panel of the resuscitation system that allows the clinician to set the maximum pressure being delivered to the infant in order to facilitate adequate pressurization of the lungs.
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) can be set using the adjustable PEEP valve located on the T-piece patient circuit.
The T-piece resuscitation system is intended for use only with GE Healthcare Tpiece resuscitation circuits.
#### Performance Data
Pulmonary resuscitation of infants includes well established clinical practices; animal or clinical testing to support safety and effectiveness is not necessary. The conformance of the Giraffe and Panda T-piece Resuscitation System to performance specifications and to multiple recognized performance standards is being established through bench testing.

Dear Ms. Smieja:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
